2020 US Senate Elections that we got wrong was in ME and NC.

ME(Collins-R won re-election)
NC(Tillis-R won re-election)
Had Democrats won both of those seats, both of the GA seats would not have mattered to the Democrats.

NC stopped counting last week waiting for the ballots able to arrive by 11/12.

They have almost 200,000 votes uncounted on the dashboard and an unknown number to be added due to mail-in.

He should have waited until those came in.

Not that it matters, a concession is just being polite. If the numbers turned in his favor he would just un-conceed.

But Maine was beyond a bad call by the pollsters.

news about voter fraud where more republicans
voted than were registered and fewer democrats
voted than were registered, by unlikely amounts.
